The stars of 2025-26 Cy Creek Girls Basketball
THE LAYUP LINE: No. 18 Cy Creek on a Revenge Tour in this campaign
No. 18 -- CYPRESS CREEK COUGARS
Following a 12-20 season plagued by injuries, Cypress Creek enters 2026 with plenty of motivation to return to the brackets. Coach Shay Arnick, entering her second year at the helm, will rely on a core of returning starters to help the Cougars respond and reestablish their competitive edge.
The catalyst of the roster is Georgia State-commit Aubrey Hampton, who averaged 15 points and 13 rebounds per game last season, earning All-Region honors.

Joining her are District 16-6A Co-Offensive Player of the Year Mariyah Dickson, who put up 20 points per game, and Newcomer of the Year Kaycie Hanks, contributing 10 points per contest. Mariella Beechum (honorable mention) adds versatility and depth to a lineup built on both experience and talent.
Arnick will be stressing health and longevity, as the team seeks to uphold its motto: “Redeem & Revenge.”
Once a perennial State contender — most recently reaching the Final Four in 2021 — Cypress Creek hopes to recapture that level of success. If the Cougars can play to their potential, this roster could be the one to spark a playoff run reminiscent of their glory days.

OFF THE DRIBBLE: The All-VYPE preseason girls basketball teams
OVER THE PAST FEW SEASONS, IT’S BECOME CLEAR THAT GIRLS BASKETBALL STANDS AMONG THE GRITTIEST ARENAS IN HOUSTON HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS.
LAST MARCH’S STATE TITLE THRILLER — CAPPED BY SUMMER CREEK’S COMEBACK VICTORY — ONLY REINFORCED THAT TRUTH.
BEYOND THE SCOREBOARD, THOUGH, THE SPORT CONTINUES TO BE DEFINED BY THE PERSONALITIES DRIVING IT FORWARD — ATHLETES WHO REPRESENT NOT JUST THEMSELVES, BUT THE COMMUNITIES THAT SHAPED THEM.
AS ANOTHER CAMPAIGN APPROACHES, WE SPOTLIGHT THE NAMES AND PROGRAMS SETTING THE STANDARD IN H-TOWN HOOPS.
